CHOPIN, F.: Waltzes / Impromptus (Complete) (Feltsman) NI6184 BACH, J.S.: English Suites Nos. 1-6, BWV 806-811 (Feltsman) NI6176
Two superb recordings from perhaps the finest and certainly the most versatile pianist before the public today. © 2012 MusicWeb International
Throughout both the Waltzes and Impromptus Feltsman plays with an abiding love of Chopin’s genius…his technique is as superb and assured as it is unobtrusive, and in the Waltzes his playing glows with grace and affection, alive with many personal and engaging touches. What warmth and pleading Feltsman shows in the very un-brillante A minor Waltz…what wistfulness and interior magic he brings to the elegiac C sharp minor Waltz…overall these are among the finest Chopin Waltz performances on disc.
How he excels, no less, in the teasing elegancies and improvisatory, conversational brio of the Impromptus, making you fall in love with them all over again. Feltsman has written his own notes, Nimbus’s New Yorkbased recording is outstanding and I can scarcely wait to hear this exceptional artist in what promises to be a complete Chopin cycle. © 2012 Gramophone Read complete review on Gramophone
